I've done a lot of reading in here and come to read that the liquid titanium in kendall is no longer, however I can't find anything in relation to they're HDEO. Does it still retain the liquid titanium?
How does the liquid titanium work with new engine break in? Everything I'm reading states to choose an oil with a higher zinc content. But does the titanium help or hurt during break in periods or is it solely intended as an anti wear additive. I'm also seeing that kendall has a .122% zinc content, is that considered a high or low content?
I really want to run the kendall in this engine, I'm nervous about change from chevron, but it's a solid oil from all I read and has a better price point. Mobile delvac was a choice also, I'm read it has a low zinc content, but I can't confirm that yet.
OR, would I be better off with an oil without titanium, something like boron or moly?
I also read that the kendall has a bad odor when new. The posts were older posts though, is that still a thing with that oil?
I don't run anything that's not available easily to me on the road, so I'm open to suggestions also, but nothing I can't source when I'm in a pinch.
I should add, my typical OCI is 20k miles. New engine will likely get a few hundred miles on it. I'll change the oil, and the new oil will go for maybe 10-15k then drop it and onto my 20k intervals.
